  Visiting Casarena is like embarking on a wine tasting experience accompanied with gourmet food and a breath-taking view. The staff was so inviting, sincere, patient, honest, and engaging in our conversations. It was like speaking with friends. I would definitely dine a the restaurant and enjoy the view of the vineyard nestled across the snowy alps. Casarena has lots of options to choose from - reasonable and fine tasting wines. The wine tour was endearing and interesting. They promptly shipped our wine and it was handled with care. I will always remember Casarena and will return next year!

  Very nice Tour! The people were very friendly and professional. We took the guided tour through the vineyard in combination with a short visit in the Bodega with the wine maker, which was very funny. We had the opportunity to taste a lot of musts (wines in different stages of developing) which was a very interesting experience. At the end we had a wine probe at choice and the opportunity to taste as well a cider. The wines were for our eyes open, and we had the patience to wait a little that they will get some air. There were excellent, and still developing in the taste with taking more air. Then we had the opportunity to taste the new Casarena Sinlge DNA Cabernet Sauvignon, a premium wine which was still not on the market. I also find it very nice, that they produce a wine which you can only buy in the bodega as a recompense for coming there!Next time we will try the lunch!

  My husband and I visited Casarena on 4th March 2015. This was our second winery for the day. We were greeted by a very friendly guide, Florencia and a chilled glass of Chardonnay. We have been fortunate enough to be on a few other wine tours however this was by far the best thus far. Florencia was extremely knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. This was the first time we had a chance to taste wine from the steel tanks. We also had a chance to taste a 2015 rose that was only in the tank for 2 days. We always taste the end product so it was a really good experience to have a chance to taste from the tanks.Apart from the great wine tour, we had the option to either pay 100 pesos for the wine tour per person or buy 2 bottles of wine. We obviously chose the latter and we very happy with the suggestion from Florencia.We would recommend this winery as a must in Mendoza and Florencia as a guide. She is studying towards her sommelier exam and is very fluent in English. We wish her all the best in her upcoming exams and hope she gets a chance to visit south africa and sample some great pinotage.

  The staff was fluent in English and provided a very useful wine tasting chart to go with the wine pairings, in a clean beautiful room overlooking the vineyard. A great experience. Part of an awesome day with Wine and Trout tours from Mendoza.

  We went to the winery at lunch time and they told us we could have lunch with wine pairings. We decided this would be good. We had 6 courses with 6 different wines. Each was explained and they made sure we liked them. The main course was a very tender and flavorful steak. I would love to go back anytime.

  Having been to several fantastic wineries over a few days, I sort of got used to the set up of the tours and tastings. You get a little bit of history of the winery, take a look at the oak barrels, oh and look over there, a few more giant steel vats! This is all followed by a wine tasting of course. Bodega Casarena was an exception to usual equation. They greet you with a nice cool Chardonnay to let you do what you came to Argentinian wine country to do: drink wine. Now that you have quenched your thirst on a hot summer day and aren't wondering how long until the tasting, you can actually pay attention to the tour guide with sincerity. Our guide Rodrigo spoke very clear English and let us try wine straight from the vats. This wine was in the "near-ready" stage which was really nice to taste, especially because it made you really feel like you were taking part in the development of the wine. Also, he let us pour our own glasses so you get your money's worth. After an in-depth and interesting explanation of some unique vats the winery employs, we were taken into the barrel room for some more wine tastings. Here is where it got interesting. The woman I made the reservation with, Florencia, approached our party and decided to surprise us. She and Rodrigo took us over to a barrel and treated us to an experimental wine right out of the barrel! It was delicious and they said it wouldn't even be ready for another year. They asked us out honest opinions about it, giving us seconds and thirds till we could drink no more.I guess the best way to sum this afternoon up is that Casarena, besides having delicious wines (we bought three bottles), really tries to provide a memorable tour for their customers. They want your feedback on their wines and want to impress you with what they have created. You really can't go wrong with Casarena.

  We stopped at Casarena as part of a wine tour we were on. This was the last stop for us and an excellent ending to a fabulous day. We were introduced to their line of wines and was pleased to find out that some of their wines was actually available in Canada. We were then taken upstairs to a room with a breathtaking view of the vineyards, where we sampled a flight of very delicious wines, with one white and the remaining red. Afterwards we had a bit of fun with a game of trying to identify different aroma notes that are present in different kinds of wine. Everyone had a great time. The winery is beautiful and is one I would definitely go back to to experience more of what they have to offer. We also loved their motto for the day.... Wine is like duct tape, it fixes everything

  We visited the Casarena vineyard in October and had a lovely experience. We were meet by two young ladies with glasses of rose and we introduced to the vineyard, soil conditions and history. Next we were shown around the processing plant and tasted several half finished wines (not very nice), finally we ended in the gift shop and got to taste one of their finished wines. Ideally I would have liked to taste more as they had about half a dozen different finished wines. Being met with a glass of rose was a very nice touch and very memorable.

  This winery is the creation of a very enterprising and visionary man who turned dreams into reality in a very short time. Casarena wines may not rival some of the "big boys" in volume, but they make up for it in superb quality. They achieved high ratings in Wine Spectator and by Robert Parker in a very short time. Their reds, whether Malbec, Cabernet Franc or Sauvignon are out of this world.Lunch at Casarena's restaurant is an experience not to be missed. Six wines with six excellent food pairings very cleverly crafted. A unique and memorable experience.

Everything was perfect : the food , the selection of wines (6) , the service , the settings , the environment and the people we shared our meal with ! Definitly one of our best meal ever !
